Excerpt from A Frontiersman
But in the first camp on the Trail of the Pioneers I can only remember, through the mist of years, a navvy who stood beside me at the fire, a man of middle-age, with a rough Scotch face, who, cocking up one shrewd grey eye, said quietly, I hear you''re looking for me?
I had come a thousand miles to see the General Officer commanding this war of giants, and found a navvy. He glanced at my letter of introduction, scanned my face again, and so with a patient sigh turned back to enjoy the warmth of the red ?ames. He asked no futile question as to what I could do, had no illusive hopes, and if he gave me a job it would be only to save me from starving to death in the bush.
